Assalamualaikum. Have a blessed Friday everyone!
Today I only have one class and that is Literature. I'm starting to love literature, or actually since the very first day Sir taught us about profoundness. Through literature, I learnt how to look at things more than what they solely are. Profound I shall say. And at the end of analyzing a poem/short story, I'd be left jaw-dropped, finding myself thinking more and more about life. Literature touched me, at heart. It's not about pretending to be profound, it never is. It's about knowing something and then having it stay in your heart and mind. Literature teaches me to think, it indeed is a blessing. Not everyone can take profoundness, and I'm also still learning to perceive how profound literature is.

And today, I stared at Sir and silently my heart whispered, "Thank you Sir". This very person right in front of me. trying to convey the meaning of things that we students would never have an idea of, is the person who interviewed me on my very first life interview ever. Fascinating yet? I am just beyond thankful. Thank you Allah for giving him the chance to do this, and me the chance to learn. During my interview, I stuttered a lot. And I wasn't fluent. I still don't know how did I make into this program and now suddenly I have to teach people English? Coming back to all these after I'm almost finished with my foundation studies, I can only smile. Allah is beautiful for creating my fate this way, and others those ways. I hope they too will find happiness in this fate Allah had set for them.
It was all planned, in the very beautiful way of all. One fate crosses with another to create who I am now. Back then, English was only for the purpose of passing exams. I would never use English in my daily life, only rarely in class. I got As for UPSR and PMR, but what's the point of getting A in the subject if I can't use it? As far as I remember, I only use English literally not verbally. In 2012, I was a hardcore fangirl and have an account specially "created" for kpop shits. There, English is the communicative language. My friends are from all around the world and I had to use English to communicate. Gradually, I started to get a hand of English(Thanks to them for letting me learn!). Then in 2014, I started to become close with GZBs(who are all good in English). I practiced with them most of the time. And I noticed that my grade for English was quite good in examinations, so I gained interest in English. One time, I got 90% and probably the highest in the school. The year of SPM, I started to look for courses that I could apply after school. That's how I discovered TESL. Interesting. I am now 65 days away from completing my foundation studies. Alhamdulillah.
Even if I had gotten a better grade in SPM, I would still choose TESL. I didn't want to continue doing things I don't enjoy. And if I could recall the memories of being a science student, it was all about learning and memorizing theories that my brain could never work for. Formulas, and whatever they are. Now they're gone in my life. I'm doing something I love. I hope nobody will compare me and another person because this is my area. That is why I am doing TESL and you are doing something else.
BTW, Guardian Knot is a short story by K.S Maniam. We just learnt in in Literature class today, and it is indeed very eye-opening. Try to look for the short story on the net! You won't regret it.
